Olympus is going to release the Micro Four Thirds System standard mirrorless camera OM-D E-M10 in late February.

OM-D E-M10 is a premium entry model of Olympus's mirrorless camera series "OM-D". Even though it has a compact slim body (119.1x82.3x45.9mm, 396g including the battery and memory card), it has a feature set that is almost the equivalent of its flagship models.

It was approaching 4pm on a Monday afternoon in December last year, and I had just finished an interview with a company in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, just outside Tokyo. It was time to head back into the city, but when I arrived at Nishi-Kawaguchi train station and saw the mass of emergency vehicles lined up outside, I realized that one of those all too common delays, a Jinshin Jiko (人身事故), a “human accident,” had likely occurred. It’s a curious euphemism.
